What does "to take with" mean in Upper Midwestern US slang?
It is used in the Upper Midwestern United States, especially Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and parts of Iowa, to mean taking something along with you, often in phrases like "Do you want to take with?" or "I'll take with some leftovers." People typically say "I'm going to the party, should I take with anything?" The term originated in 19th and early 20th century immigrant communities where German and Scandinavian sentence structures influenced English, and remains a subtle but recognizable regional marker of the Upper Midwest.
